I wouldn't pray to have Lukaku but given how erratic Costa can be, both on the field of play and in his brain, I am compelled to pray to have the Belgian.

Lukaku's poor technique would let some of our great build-up plays down but one thing is certain, he'll still score bucket loads of goals. I don't expect him to come cheap though, no franchise forward would.

Heard the lad is already following most of our boys on twitter already. First summer signing I guess.

What becomes of Costa now? Abi Conte wan parade the formidable trio of Lukaku, Costa and Batman next term?

I need Tolisso for that midfield as soon as possible.

If the report making the rounds are anything to go by, then there is every likelihood that we wont be signing a new defender this summer, as Conte seems to be eager to work with Christensen and Ake.

Kolasinac joins Arsenal for free. This is just a huge steal IMHO. This guy is hardly a passenger. Quality LB moving for free!

Chelseafan1:
Please guys, I am trying to learn more, shud this sentence be Sanchez and Costa is available or Sanchez and Costa are available, since they are two different people, hence it makes them plural and as such shud attract plural very 'are'

And everyone other persons I can't remember

I see pple use is, which one is correct.?

Tnx

Always use "are" when the subject is plural and "is" when the subject is singular. Subject verb agreement.

Peter Bosz replaces Tuchel at Dortmund, I never saw this coming.

Arsenal have confirmed the capture of Schalke full-back Sead Kolasinac, he will join the North London outfit on a free transfer.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the Gunners announced that the 23-year-old will join the Gunners “on a long-term contract” and will link up for pre-season training in July “subject to the completion of all regulatory processes”.

Arsenal beat the likes of Juventus and Chelsea to the signing of the Bosnia and Herzegovina star.

He becomes Arsenal’s first signing of the summer.

As a football fan, I'm absolutely devastated.

Practically impossible for the Athletes to fast & play simultaneously in the summer heat of China (40°).

RIP Tiote.

Tolisso

This sums it all up.

Ibime:
As for leftback, if we can get Benjamin Mendy, that would be great. He is probably the only one of the available leftbacks I would swap Alonso for.

It did not escape my attention that Alonso was the only nigga who did not run out of gas when we went down to ten men in the FA Cup final. The nigga was still covering vast blades of grass when we were overstretched. This tallies with his status as the player who covered the most miles per 90 mins in the EPL last time I checked.

Benjamin is linking up with Pep at Citeh. Fraudiola has identified him as his no1 LB target.

Nathan Ake and Kenedy might not be as adventurous as Alonso but the duo can be trusted to do a good job when called upon.

JigsawKillah:
Yes, I agree. However, there may be others who'd tell you a striker like Tammy Abraham has done enough to earn a place as the team's third striker. And may even point towards Conte's reluctance to play 2 forwards consistently as a reason we won't see a new striker.

Tammy boy! How did I forget him?

Ibime:
You're kidding me right?

I was just putting 2 and 2 together given Lyons reported interest in Traore.

I would be over the moon if this is actually happening.

Meanwhile, Pasalic only has one year on his contract so I think we will be saying goodbye if he refuses to extend. I know Nateevs is a fan of his.

Hehehe. Remember the days when Emenalo used to drop by here to get names for Chelsea. Maybe the chiefs from Cobham are visiting the page again

There are strong inferences on a possible Tolisso deal, let's see how things unfold. If we can get that boy and chime out of those Bakayoko talks, then we are good to go.

Pasalic might not extend. Conte hardly talks about the boy. Great talent we'd be losing i must say.

JigsawKillah:
Chelsea may not sign a striker after all. With Costa poised to stay, and Batsman impressing towards the end of the season, I think upfront is the only place we won't be seeing reinforcements.

The demands of the UCL and title challenge would push us into getting a forward.

You don't compete on both fronts with only two identified forwards.

bigkesh:
If their names isn't Baker or Charlie Colkett,then they can't stand him

The fact that you don't even know their names or clubs means you haven't watched or heard of them,you just think........

As usual you said something without something to back it up

I weak for that nigga.

Meanwhile, looks like our wish is getting granted.

"L’Equipe are claiming Lyon's President Jean-Michel Aulas was in London to discuss a deal for Tolisso with the Blues.

The report claims any deal could also involve the Ligue 1 side getting Kurt Zouma on loan or even buying Betrand Traore."

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3697676/chelsea-make-enquiry-for-lyon-star-corentin-tolisso-during-london-talks-with-their-president/

And to give credence to that speculation, I read somewhere else that Lyon are interested in signing Bertrand Traore.

http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/811425/Lyon-Transfer-Chelsea-Betrand-Traore-News-Gossip-Rumours

Looks pretty much like this deal is happening and I am happy the name is Tolisso.

lordfalcao:
over 32 players on loan, i bet there is 5-10 players who can do what he does..

You are not even sure.

lordfalcao:
we have over 20 players who can do what that boy does on loan...

Bar Lewis Baker who I rate, give me a name please.

fourfourfour:
u do realize chelsea have Ruben n nathaniel abi

Watch that clip again and spot the difference. Maxime might not be up there with Chalobah as a DM but he sure shits on both Nath and RLC with his sublime technique, control and vision. Boy is a little diamond.

hensben:
Michael Jean seri is the answer. Him, fab,Kante and matic will dominate epl and ucl. Loan loftus cheek

There is nothing special about Seri, I have seen play couple of times, just a man with the simple pass and average technique.

Moreover age isn't on his side. Nigga is claiming to be 25, and as an African and we know he isn't 25. Probably 32 or 33.

I give up man.

Ibime:
Griffon, that your boy Toliso looks like a great option for our central midfield. I don't even mind using Bertrand Traore as a bargaining chip for him.

Great kid I tell you, but then it seems Wenger is in pole position to land him. If we miss out on Toliso, then we can't afford to miss out on Maxime Lopez.

The latter is everything you need in a young CM. Albeit he has got a height disadvantage, the boy knows his game. I won't be surprised a bit if he ends up at Barca or Real, good talent don't need much scouting. I wonder what our scouts do everyday.

Kante scored that goal, I don't know what y'all are even saying.

Luiz headed out a ball from the box, Kante had a chance to kick the ball out but no, he wanted to do some tricks on Sanchez but eventually lost the ball to some hand ball handling.

So how is anyone's fault?

We need more bodies in the midfield simple.

Pedro out for Fabregas.

Switch to 3-5-2. Simple.

Mertesacker with 37minutes of footie the whole season is thinking he has a point to prove today.

The thunder wey go fire am still dey brush teeth.

Chai see how this man slay down Bundesliga!

That is a by-name for Bayern-liga anyway.

1-1 correct score full time.

Airmark carry this one go our FB or Twitter page. Predictions off those pages no go count and you have to like and follow those pages too

airmark:
A team that will go far in ucl especially from epl must have depth. Injuries, cards are there waiting to serve as stumbling blocks. Look at real madrid this year, the players on the bench can form a team that will compete well against bayern in burnthisleaguedown. We need like at least 4 new solid signings, if we want to meet up with the demands of next season and excel.

Squad depth is just the key. In 2012, we were forced to play the Final without JT, Ivanovic, Ramires and Meireles, that was like four integral members of the team MIA.

Squad depth meant we had to bring in Luiz and Cahill at the centre of defense, albeit they both had to pass late fitness test, switched to a Lampard/Mikel pivot. Frustrated Bayern at their backyard to conquer Europe.

Conte has shown over the years that he understands the importance of squad depth. I have been on the same subject for a long time here. Let the big wigs at SW6 get to do the needful.

A CB, CM and FWD is just good enough for the team, that is bearing in mind good products like Baker, Kenedy, Ake, Christensen would be around next season

Go give it a shot if you've got it.

Wenger is a very desperate man. He will do anything to win FA cup tomorrow just to keep his job.

It's a little to late though, Nothing is stopping #chelseadouble tomorrow.

Make him chill and collect en L in peace.

I'd bet my testicles that the security man goes by the name Lalasticlala.

He'd be like "This is my right, my personal right"
